Hello friends and families,

This is Andrew and Kevin, your leaders of the day, coming at you with the nightly blog. To start the day off, the group slept in until 8:30. We’re more accustomed to waking up earlier, so having a later wake-up call was relieving. Shortly after, our GGL (Global Glimpse Leader) Leona hosted a daily health check-in, and as always, we had a wonderful breakfast from our cook Angie. Our breakfast consisted of eggs with vegetables, toasted bread, bananas, and a glass of orange juice. With the hearty meal, the group was excited to venture and explore the city of Chitre.

To start our adventure, some groups decided to go to the gym, where we worked out for the first time in two weeks. Elsewhere, another group decided to go to the Merca Chitre to eat delicious waffles topped with fruits and sweets. Most people splurged on souvenirs and snacks for family and friends. Afterwards, the groups returned to the hotel to have lunch, which was rice with lentils, meatballs, salad with homemade dressing, plantains, and jugo de fresa.

After lunch, some people decided to do a quick stop at laundry near the hotel. The group walked to the plaza and took an energizer break at La Bruja, Angie’s restaurant. People went to Merca Chitre to buy even more souvenirs! One of the shopkeepers was kind enough to gift some Glimpsers traditional deity figures.

To end the day off, we returned to the hotel and had dinner, which was chow mein with chicken, vegetables, and watermelon juice. Despite Angie’s first attempt at Asian cuisine, the Glimpsers and Leaders came to a consensus that the food was good quality. We capped our night off upstairs with our nightly meeting, where we discussed the daily summary, pluses and wishes, and passed the torch to Walker and Naiomi, the next leaders of the day.

Thank you for reading this post and please tune in tomorrow for our Fun Day at the beach!
